CURRENT COMMENT.

--Sherman's boom is lying forgot
ten by the roadside. 1t is liable to be
mistaken for dead cat; and be flung
at its former owner.-Alta California.
The money devil seems to be in
doubt whether he shall put on Blaine
plume or decorate his hat with Sher-
man frost-work. Courier
Journal.
If Cleveland is rs weak as his
enemies paint him their herculean
efforts to compass his defeat seem dis
proportionate, not to say inconsistent.
Chicago News.
LET us have brains in the Pres
idency," demands wise editor of the
East. That editor has more brains in
the Presidency than he has under his
hat.-Chicdgo Herald.
Probably it is true, as the Re-
publican papers assert, that Mr.. CIeve-
land can not be compared with Mr..
Blaine as an orator. In such n COM
parison the advantage is greatly on
the side of Mr.. Blaine. But it is
equally true that Mr.. b aine can not
be compared with Mr.. Cleveland as an
honest man. In such a comparison
the advantage is greatly on the side of
Mr.. Cleveland. Chicago Times.
The Presidents speeches have
needed no apology. They have been
good speeches throughout One of the
surprises in Mr.. Cleveland's career has
been the effectiveness with which he
has used his brain In the composition
Of his letters and speeches. In this re-
spect he has attained fitness-a felic-
ity even-in expression which has been
equaled by few ofthe public men of the
longest training in Washington.-Bos.
